Who grades the FCAT?
Multiple choice and gridded response questions are scored electronically by a computer, Scantron. Written responses are hand-scored by a team of professionals including retired teachers, part-time graduate students and educators who are not currently employed in the Florida public school system. To ensure accuracy in scoring, written answers are graded by at least two different individuals. If those individuals do not agree, another individual scores the test until an agreement is reached.
